This.
Late 2000-2006(suv) is NBS--New Body Style.
2007-2014(suv) is NNBS--New New Body Style.
The generation predating NBS are OBS... Not sure what the ones after NNBS are called...

Alot of the weirdness is because of how the trucks fit in... I’ll probably have some of this wrong
You could have a 1999 1500 obs or nbs truck
You could have a 2000 2500 or 3500 obs or nbs truck
I think all the 2000 Escalades were obs, and the nbs didn’t come out until late 2001 as a 2002
I think all the 2000 Yukon’s were nbs, but while most 2000 Tahoes are nbs, I believe there were some obs
then in 2007 you could get a nbs or nnbs 1500 truck
Yes, this comes fro GM offering the Old Body Style in some trucks while offering the New Body Style at the same time. GM referred to them as Classic, but the nick names OBS and NBS just stuck.
GM is not the only one, I rented a Ram recently that was a 2021, but the previous generation body style. They have all the tooling so they can keep selling them for less money, but profits are still good due to them being paid for with prior years.
Just wait, 2021-2022 may be the same thing according to the news.

When Internet forums became popular (late 90s-early 2000s), the then-new body style Tahoes were the 2000 models and the name just sort of stuck. Before that, if you said you had a Tahoe everyone knew what you meant as there was only one model around (95-99).
Now it just makes us older folks feel older.

NBS Truck – What Does NBS Platform Mean?
You might have overseen many people online arguing about which is better NBS VS NNBS, but hardly anyone knows what NBS and NNBS stand for. NBS (New body style) or GMT800 stands for a GM truck platform which was used between 1999 and 2006, NNBS or GMT900 stands for a GM truck platform used...
